Well, my trip has been canceled twice. Bugger. Rather disappointing, as i was really looking forward to getting out of Moscow for a while. Doesn't really help when most of the people around you aren't adventurous enough to try something different. It's not that i'm bored mind you, just that's it a bloody waste cos this year i have my longest break. Oh well, there's always spring. Made it a point to learn more about Russian History since i've always been fascinated by it. Was watching a documentary on it, and it was most enlightening, knowing all the rulers and their accomplishments; Ivan the Great, Ivan the Terrible and my favorite, Peter the Great. Everyone was interesting in a more serious way, in which i was putting my hands to my chin, listening intently and goin Hmm... except for the part where they spoke of False Dimitriy. Amusing. During the Time of Troubles (Смутное время, Smutnoye Vremya) an imposter from Poland claimed himself heir of Ivan the Terrible and reigned the country for a year before being exposed. It is said later on they sent him back to Poland, "Russian Style". This is the good part. Hehe. They killed him, burned his corspe, put his ashes in a cannon,pointed it towards Poland and fired it.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahhaha.

But seriously..

Hahahahaha....

Don't mess with the Russians man.



By the way, it's Chinese New Year. Doesn't feel like it to me, so I wont be wishing anyone, unless they do it first and it'd only be polite to do so. Didn't have any makan-makan this time around. Didn't even cook for myself. Most of my friends are in Malaysia, or off somewhere on their euro-trip. No matter.. Didn't really feel like celebrating anyway since my grams just passed away. She was the one who usually cooked the dishes for our family reunion, and this time around, as i usually do, i was thinking of how my family are back home, and i just kept picturing her there. Had to remind myself that she wasn't incase i said something wrong to my mum. I did infact forget that it was CNY till I saw the Vietnames cooking (on the floor... of the corridorrrrrr) and heard them singing Karaoke later on. At least someone's having a good ole celebration. Not that i'm complaining.. This has been the most relaxing winter break ever, for many reasons which we shall not get into.. And.. Oh yes, haha if you've yet to watch Yes Man, do so.. for my favorite part of the movie...


~I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend,

~You could cut ties, with all the lies that you've been living in

~And, if you do not want to see me again

~I would understandddddd-eeee-ndddd-eee-ndd, I would
understandddd-eee-enddd..


Yeah, i know lame.. but cmon.. the song is a classic!.. u saw how the crowd were singing along to it. People watching this on tv, or laptop or in the cinema would sing along to it. And i know for a fact it's true, because my friends told me so. Hah! Me and my buddies watching it were even singing and moving side to side to it.. hahahaha just reminds everyone of the 'days back then', yeah.. when we were young. LOL. Good times though.. good times. Though i Do wonder bout the people singing in the cinema though. What if Everyone there was singing, and it was really loud, would the people watching the other movies in the next hall be freaking out..? Oh well...

just sing along then... hahahahahha. ~Cheers..

Everyone's got to face down the demons
Maybe today
You could put the past away
I wish you would step back from
That ledge my friend
You could cut ties with all the lies
That you've been living in
And if you do not want to see me again
I would understandddddd-eeee-ndddd-eee-ndd, I would understandddd-eee-enddd..
